Oval vs Square Bathroom Sinks

One of the quickest and least expensive ways of improving the value of your home is to upgrade the sink and fixtures in your bathrooms. These days, square bathroom sinks are becomingly increasingly more popular. Installing a square bathroom sink is an upgrade you can easily do yourself.  Before you do this, consider the advantages and disadvantages of a square bathroom sink versus the traditional oval sink.

Square Bathroom Sink Advantages

A square bathroom sink can quickly change the complete look of your bathroom, adding a distinctive modern elegance over the traditional oval sink. They are available in many sizes, designs and colors including the under counter mount, pedestal sink, and above counter vessel sink.

The square pedestal sink has the advantage over the round or oval styles by providing more flat surface area to put your soap, razor or toothbrush. For the above counter vessel sinks, the square bathroom sink closely matches the sleek line of a new counter top and gives the bathroom a luxurious and tranquil atmosphere.

Square Bathroom Sink Disadvantages

The different shape of the square bathroom sink will most likely not fit into the countertop cutout of an oval sink. If this is the case, you might need to replace the entire countertop in order to install the square sink.  Be sure to take good measurements before deciding on the replacement sink so that it does not overlap drawers or cabinets.

Replacing the traditional oval bathroom sink with a new square bathroom sink can quickly modernize the entire look of your bathrooms while adding to the overall value of your home.
